Amazon said in a statement to Business Insider on Monday that it opposes President Trump's decision to temporarily ban immigrant working visas.Amazon accounted for the largest number of H1B applications among tech companies in 2017, according to the National Foundation for American Policy.Amazon condemned President Trump's decision to temporarily ban H1B immigrant working visas, calling it a "short-sighted" move.
"We oppose the Administration's short-sighted action. Preventing high skilled professionals from entering the country and contributing to America's economic recovery puts American's global competitiveness at risk. The value of high-skilled visa programs is clear, and we are grateful for the many Amazon employees from around the world that have come to the U.S. to innovate new products and services for our customers. Welcoming the best and the brightest global talent to the U.S.
International talent will now reside and pay taxes offshore, if American companies can retain the talent.
I think it odd ppl are upset abt this. The EU has been doing it for years. I lived in France 94/95. The only work I could get was under the table & for less $, because I’m a US citizen. They hire from the 27 EU countries 1st only if there’s no one will they hire from the US.
Amazon is based on forgery, that looks like ok to use mine. But forgery is illegal. So Amazon should pay me. Else, can not use.
Immigrant talent contributed and continues to do so in American Economic growth. Please revoke the Executive order and allow non immigrant visa H1B, L1, etc. realDonaldTrump sundarpichai satyanadella
Throwing a bone to his minions since he had such a bad week/weekend. Lost 2 Supreme Court verdict, lost on book release and then the no show at his venue. So much winning!
It's no surprise that Amazon is pissed off because instead of hiring some of the millions of unemployed Americans they would rather exploit immigrants and pay slave wages.
Sorry Jeff you can’t exploit underpaid foreign slave labor anymore
It might help stop human trafficking.
Lux Luthor wants cheap labor as always hypocrites 😂😂
realDonaldTrump swamppy talking
No......Blacks need jobs.......Democrats tell you they are the most unemployed.....Let’s get Black unemployment down first. ! What’s wrong with this effort?
There are plenty of workers here looking for jobs Jeffry. Why do you care so much about foreign workers? Cheaper? You don’t have enough money that you don’t pay taxes on?
He’s putting Americans first... how is that not obvious
So his company can exploit those workers?
